"In the Family"

This film by Patrick Wang opened at Quad Cinemas last night with a pretty strong review from the NY Times. Check the review out here. There's not much I would add to Mr. Brunick's observations.

Leaving the theatre, Mr. Wang was standing shyly on the sidewalk, waiting to get some direct feedback about the film. Within minutes, Stone Phillips (who looks even better since he stopped coloring his hair) was leading the conversation among a group of us who had stopped to congratulate Mr. Wang, exploring some of his plot choices and inspirations.

As you'll see in the review, Mr. Wang hasn't had much success in his distribution efforts. The film runs a little long, but it's well worth seeing.

Check it out at the Quad before it closes next Thursday. Get tickets here.
